Notes On Using The Baking Charts - Miele H6800BMX Operating And Installation Instructions

Notes on using the baking
charts
In the charts the data for the
recommended function is printed in
bold.
Unless otherwise stated, the times
given are for an oven which has not
been pre-heated. With a pre-heated
oven, shorten times by up to 10
minutes.
Temperature 
As a general rule, select a temperature
in the middle of those given in the chart.
Baking at temperatures higher than
those recommended may reduce the
cooking time, but will lead to uneven
browning, and unsatisfactory cooking
results.
Baking duration 
Check if the food is cooked at the end
of the shortest time quoted. To check if
a cake is ready, insert a wooden skewer
into the centre. It is ready if the skewer
comes out clean, without dough or
crumbs sticking to it.
Shelf levels 
The shelf level on which you place your
food for baking depends on the oven
function and number of trays being
used.
– Fan Plus 
Cakes in baking tins: Shelf level 1
Flat items (e.g. biscuits, tray bakes):
Shelf level 2
Baking on two levels at once
(depending on the height of the items
to be baked):
Shelf levels 1+3 or shelf levels 2+3
– Conventional Heat 
Cakes in baking tins: Shelf level 1
Flat items (e.g. biscuits, tray bakes):
Shelf level 2
– Intensive bake 
As a general rule, use shelf level 1.
– MW + Fan Plus 
Insert the glass tray on shelf level 1
and place the baking container on it.
Useful tips
– Set the cooking duration. When
baking, the oven should not be set to
start a long time off. Otherwise the
cake mixture or dough will dry out,
and the raising agents will lose their
effectiveness.
– Place cakes in rectangular tins on the
rack with the longer side across the
width of the oven for optimum heat
distribution and even results.
